Twenty-eight illegal fighting dogs have been seized from premises in County Armagh during a joint USPCA, police and Armagh City Council operation.
The pit bull-type dogs were seized at derelict farm buidlings on the Old Scarva Road near Tandragee.
It is understood the site contained pits thought to have been made for the dogs to fight in. No arrests were made.
The USPCA first searched the property after receiving a call from a member of the public.
David Wilson from the USPCA said there has been more awareness of the problem of illegal dogs since the new year.
“We’ve been fielding a lot of calls from concerned members of the public,” Mr Wilson said.
“One of those calls led one of our welfare officers to an address in the Tandragee area yesterday evening and what he found resulted in him calling in the PSNI.”
